By following its long and fruitful tradition of poster
presentation/discussion, ACM MobiCom 2013 solicits submissions
for its Posters Program. The program will consist of a Posters
Session that will be scheduled during the conference in
addition to a three-days Posters interaction space which will
be available from October 1 to October 3, to ensure maximum
visibility.

Proposals for poster presentations featuring early
research work and preliminary results are strongly encouraged
and solicited. The MobiCom 2013 Poster Session will provide an
excellent opportunity for initial feedback on early research
results and for gaining early visibility of ongoing projects.

To ensure maximum visibility and to garner high interest in
the Poster Session from all MobiCom attendees, each accepted
poster will have the opportunity to deliver a fast elevator
pitch. Each poster presenter will get a one-minute to overview
and stir interest in her/his poster (3 slides presented in
PechaKucha mode - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PechaKucha).
In addition, each presenter will have the opportunity to have
a webpage, which will be linked to from the MobiCom Posters &
SRC program page, to post additional details including
possibly a short video presentation.

Posters are solicited in all areas of mobile computing
and wireless networking. Particular areas of interest include,
but are not limited to:

Architectures, algorithms, and protocols for
cognitive wireless networks and their integration in the next
generation Internet

ACM MobiCom 2013 will host an ACM Student Research Competition
(SRC) along side the Posters Program. Students submitting to
the MobiCom 2013 Poster Session can opt to have their posters
considered also by the SRC committee, if their posters are
accepted. Selected competitors will receive up to $500 USD for
their conference travel, depending on need, and will earn a
chance to compete in the SRC Grand Finals. The winners will be
recognized at the Annual ACM Awards Banquet. Competitors
should be prepared to attend the Poster Session and, if
selected for further competition, to give a short talk about
their research projects. Winners of the MobiCom 2013 SRC will
be announced at the conference. The Student Research
Competition is open to graduate and undergraduate students
whose submissions are accepted by the SRC committee. To be
considered, complete a submission to the Poster Session and
indicate that you would like to participate in the SRC by
adding "[SRC]" in the subject line. Valid ACM student
membership and student status as of the submission deadline
are required for the lead student. For more information about
the SRC competition, contact the SRC Chair Souvik Sen at souvik.senhp.com.

The SRC competition is fully sponsored by a generous
donation from Microsoft Research.

Submission Instructions

The posters should be submitted via email to the Poster
Chairs: (Paolo Bellavista: paolo.bellavistaunibo.it ) and (Tamer
Nadeem: nadeemcs.odu.edu ). The submission should be formatted
as a paper or extended abstract describing the research to be
presented in the poster and should be submitted as a PDF file
of at most 3 pages, including all figures and references
(formatted into the US letter size of 8.5 x 11 inches with
fonts no smaller than 10 point size). The extended abstract
must include the authors’ names, affiliations, and email
addresses. Any submission should include the following:

Whether you would like the submission to be considered
for the Student Research Competition, by adding "[SRC]" in
the subject line

If you would like your submission to be considered for
the SRC, there is the additional need to indicate that any
of the student authors is an undergraduate student. Note
that if any of the authors is a graduate student, then the
submission will be considered under the graduate category

All poster submissions will be reviewed by the Posters
committee. If your submission is selected for the Posters
Session, you will receive information regarding the size of
the poster board, etc., so that you can prepare and produce
your poster. Easels and white boards will be provided by the
Conference. Once your poster is accepted, we will include the
abstract of your poster on the conference website and publish
it in the main proceedings and the ACM digital library.
